ComedyFest review: Markus Birdman, Wrestlemania 33 & Logan – a requiem for the cultural death of Generation X
Markus Birdman is a fascinating comedian and proof that the snippets you see of an act in a big gala is not indicative of the comedians full body of work. In short bursts, Birdman is a cynical but well read 40s something solo father of a 12 year old but in a full show he is a philosopher who encapsulates the zeitgeist of the cultural death of Gen X.

5 Star Comedy Preview
The 5 Star Comedy preview is easily the best comedy preview show in the coemedyfest line up. It has the 10 best international talents which means you are guaranteed an excellent night out with none of the awkward moments of locals stumbling and struggling on stage.
